The state of Maharashtra has received the various intensity of rains during the month of September. While we saw that the Monsoon rains were continuously lashing the coastal areas of Maharashtra, the interior parts have been recording light to moderate intensity of rains. Hence, the month of September has proved to be rainier in comparison to the month of August.
In a span of last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Friday, Nashik recorded moderate rainfall of 38 mm, Harnai 36 mm, Ahmednagar 30 mm, Kolhapur 29 mm, Ratnagiri 26 mm, Alibag 21 mm, Mahabaleshwar 13 mm, Pune 11 mm, Mumbai 3 mm and Thane 2 mm.
These weather conditions can be attributed to a cyclonic circulation which is seen over west central Bay of Bengal off North Andhra Pradesh and Odisha Coast.
Also, an upper air trough is seen extending from this system up to Coastal Karnataka across Andhra Pradesh and North Interior Karnataka. Further, the dry and warm winds are meeting with moist winds which are blowing over South Madhya Maharashtra region.
Due to the effect of these two weather systems over the area, short spells of light rains and thundershowers are expected to continue in many parts of South Madhya Maharashtra and Konkan region for the next few days.
